between Atlantic City and N. Y, had been
troubled with a cough so that he was unable
to sleep, and was induced to try DR.. Kings

extreme soreness in his breast. His children

When Editor O'Brien was in America
he showed himself man hard to manage.
He is keeping up this reputation now in

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL "A.

CIVIL. SERVICE REF0RM.-The demo
cratic attacks On pig-tail civil service reform
are based on the fact that it is inconsistent
with, the democratic republican principle,
unconstitutional rs interfering with freedom
of appointment, and tending to produce an
Official aristocracy. 1t is hateful foreign
Importation not genuine growth OF the
American spirit. The spois system, 30 call 4.
ed, is the natural and legitimate product Of
government by parties. The attempt TO
substitute for that system the process OF
unnatural selection BY irresponsible boards
is change that lessons party and ohciai
responsibility. The mere matter OF the
fifteen thousand posts, or Whereabouts, no"
subject to the ab5utdities OF pedagogue-
made civil service reform gives us 10 ltseii
little concern. II those offices were Tiled
with democrats, we should still object as
strenuously as before to system which We
condemn and abhor, and which the Sun
in common with such other democratic Jour
nails as are incapable Of the time-sorVing
spirit has from the first opposed and de-
nounced on broad grounds of public policy.
The pig. tailed monstrosity may be worship
ped for season by republicans under a
pretence, and a few democrats may bow
down before it under q delusion; but the
time will come when it will be cast down
and smashed utterly. Until then demo-
cratic journals that stick to democratic
principles must preach against it.-N. 7.

The Tabby in Ancient History.

The Egyptian name for the cat was
chaou, or, according to some ETyptO-
logists, maou, the latter name being
initiative of the animal cry. The fa-
miliar name Of ''puss," apparently,
has also come to us from the Egyp-
tan.
The origin of the word ''tabby" is,
perhaps, not generally known. 1t is Il
corruption of the Turkish utabi Gold
French tabs, Spanish tabi), a particu-
lar kind of waved silk imported from
Bagdad, and so named after the local
ity where it was made.
One of the most ancient representa-
tons Of the cat is to be found in the
Metropolis of Thebes, which contains
the tomb of King Hama, of the eleventh
dynasty. a statue of the king repre-
sents him standing erect, with his fav-
orite cat, Boubaki, at his feet.
Plutarch, III his treatise on Isis and
Osiris" states that the image of she
cat was placed at the top of the Sis
trum as an emblem of the moon; part
ly, perhaps, because she moves about
ny HI2ill. DuI Grizzly because nec eyes
dilate and grow large at the full of the
moon, contracting again at the moons
decline.
Cats are mentioned in sanscrit
manuscript 1000 years old, and in
Egypt their antiquity is known to be
even greater, rs shown by monumental
drawings and the discovery of their
mummied bodies in very ancient tombs.
The Egyptians not only took great care
of their eats while alive. but honored
them when dead, going into mourning
and shaving their eyebrows.
1t has been conjectured from q paint
ing taken from tomb Mt Thebes, and
now in the British museum, that the
cat was taught by the ancient Egyp-
tians to retrieve. The painting in
question depicts an Egyptian fowler
gliding in q tlat-bottomed boat through
a reed bed and throwing sticks at wa
ter fowl. apparently with rs much skill
as a native Australian throws the BOOM
erang, while cat is represented as
looking up At him with n wild duck in
her mouth, and another bird, apparent
~ water hen. under her fore feet.
